First-round C Travis Frederick is running with the starters in Cowboys OTAs.

Owner Jerry Jones is handing Frederick the job, which is unusual even for top-ten picks. Frederick was the No. 31 selection in last month's draft. Typically, the charade of "competition" is carried out through at least minicamp. Labeled a "reach" by most draftniks and league insiders, Frederick will be on the spot as a rookie. May 21 - 1:27 PM

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

The Cowboys' goal is to make No. 31 overall pick Travis Frederick the starting center as a rookie.

Frederick will "compete" with Phil Costa and Ryan Cook, but owner/GM Jerry Jones has already stated that the rookie will immediately be a starter. Aside from LT Tyron Smith, the Cowboys' offensive line was a disaster last season. Both guard spots and right tackle are up for grabs in training camp.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

ESPN's Ed Werder polled five NFL teams about Cowboys first-round G/C Travis Frederick, and none of them gave him a first-round grade.

None of them even considered Frederick a quality second-day prospect. One club had Frederick in the fourth round, two more had him as a fifth-rounder, one had him in the sixth round, and the final club graded Frederick as a "borderline" sixth- to seventh-round pick. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already committed to starting Frederick as a rookie, probably at center or right guard.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says first-round pick G/C Travis Frederick "will start" as a rookie.

Way to add integrity to coach Jason Garrett's camp competitions, Jer. "I had hoped we could come out of this thing with a legitimate starter, a legitimate starter, and he will start," Jones said. "He will start. First-rounder and not starting? I know coach wants there to be competition and should be, and we all know that’s the way it is." The Cowboys have perhaps the league's worst interior line, so it shouldn't be hard to find Frederick a starting job.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

Cowboys selected G/C Travis Frederick with the No. 31 overall draft pick.

Frederick (6-foot-3 5/8, 312) entered the draft following his redshirt junior season after making 31 starts for the Badgers, 13 at left guard and 18 at center. He played center in 2012. Despite sub-par athleticism, Frederick is a heady (34 Wonderlic score), powerful phone-booth blocker whom ex-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema deemed "pound for pound one of the strongest (players) I've ever coached." Assuming C Phil Costa's health holds up, we would anticipate Frederick starting at right guard as a rookie.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

Wisconsin C Travis Frederick ran forty times of 5.60 and 5.50 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Frederick's Combine showing has been a disappointment, as he also managed only 21 reps on the bench press. It's no secret that he lacks top-end athleticism, but Frederick has yet to shine in any drills. He's still a good enough football player to warrant second-day draft consideration from power-blocking teams.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

Wisconsin C Travis Frederick managed only 21 reps of 225 pounds on the bench at the Combine.

Frederick's 33-inch arms are relatively long for a pure interior lineman, but the bench-press rep total is still on the disappointing side. Frederick is expected to be a day-two pick, coming from the terrific Wisconsin O-Line pipeline.

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Tony Romo Sidelined NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Tony Romo (back surgery) "probably" won't be ready for minicamp. Romo said earlier Tuesday he was optimistic he'd be ready for June's minicamp, but Rapoport reports the Cowboys are "fine bringing Romo back slowly." They have no reason to rush their franchise signal caller, who should be ready well before training camp. May 21
	2	Kyle Orton
	3	Nick Stephens
	4	Dalton Williams
RB	1	DeMarco Murray
	2	Joseph Randle Sidelined Cowboys signed fifth-round RB Joseph Randle to a four-year contract. The Cowboys have very high hopes for Randle, despite the fact that he'll miss all pre-training camp activities due to offseason thumb surgery. An adept pass catcher, Randle does little else well. On tape, it was evident his production was spiked by Oklahoma State's wide-open offense in the defense-deficient Big 12. May 13

FB	1	Lawrence Vickers Sidelined Cowboys FB Lawrence Vickers underwent back surgery Friday. "It won't keep him out of training camp, but will limit him during (offseason) training," owner/GM Jerry Jones said. With a $1.2 million base salary, Vickers is squarely on the roster bubble. Apr 27
WR1	1	Dez Bryant Sidelined Dez Bryant says he's "found (himself)," and is "comfortable" with his life. "I wish it could've been a couple years back, but I had to go through a couple of things to figure it out," Bryant said of his past troubles. "I think I got it and I'm just more focused on my job and doing what I love to do and that's playing football." The light bulb went off for Bryant on the field last season, and is now doing so off of it. A rare talent, we don't doubt that Bryant can top his 92/1,382/12 2012. May 21
	2	Terrance Williams
	3	Cole Beasley
	4	Anthony Armstrong
	5	Carlton Mitchell
WR2	1	Miles Austin Sidelined Miles Austin said he is focusing on strengthening his hamstrings this offseason. Austin played in all 16 games last season, but was consistently bothered by hip and hamstring issues. In 2011, he missed six games with a severe pull. "I'm definitely strengthening my hamstrings a lot more than I have been," said Austin. "Doing a different routine, a couple of extra exercises each day on our leg days." May 9
	2	Dwayne Harris
	3	Danny Coale Sidelined Cowboys WR Danny Coale (knee) is practicing at OTAs Tuesday. Coale tore his ACL in November, and it's unlikely that he's going through practice full-speed. It's still good news for the 2012 fifth-round pick because just 11 days ago he had yet to be medically cleared. After spending last season on the practice squad, Coale faces an uphill battle for a roster spot. May 21
	4	Tim Benford Sidelined Cowboys WR Tim Benford underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Benford will miss the rest of rookie minicamp and OTAs before returning for training camp. The former Tennessee Tech receiver spent the entire 2012 season on the practice squad, and he'll face an uphill battle for a roster spot. May 11
